My favourite book when I was a child was definitely James and the giant peach, for me. I felt this book had not only a good story with unique characters, but it had an overall positive message for the reader. The characters for me were very relatable with their complex personalities and their motivations. The book sends out the message that it doesn’t matter where you come from and who you are, if you have a dream you can achieve it with the right frame of mind. James and the

One book that has always been a favourite of mine has to be, Matilda.

Guess how much I love you ‘I love you right up to the moon and back’. This story reminds me so much of childhood, and I think this particular phrase is one a lot of us use, whether we know where it came from or not. It’s a book my Mum and I quote to this day! (I’m 25…). The story is a narrative back and forth between Little Nutbrown hare and Big Nutbrown hare, just before bed, measuring their love for each other.

Where The Wild Things Are We all grew up with a certain book that has stuck with us. For me, that is Where The Wild Things Are. It may only contain 9 lines but every image on the page along with the next sentence creates a whole new imaginary world for a 6-year-old.
